Free Antivirus: AVG Vs Avira Vs Avast Review

Companies continue to test and rank antivirus programs. The three programs which always take their turns on the top are AVG, Avira and Avast. These antivirus programs are not only free to use but also promises high end scanning capabilities and destroys thousands of computer viruses.  But of course, you wouldn’t want to clutter your PC with antivirus programs which could do pretty much everything as the other programs. Between avira vs avg vs avast, which one is the best? This review summarizes some of the interesting advantages and disadvantages of each of the three antivirus programs.

Avast

When you are trying to look for a stable, effective, and well-supported antivirus program, Avast is the right choice. Avast boasts its frequent and fast updates whose cleaning features are the same as the Pro, which is its paid counterpart. Avast is also highly configurable which enables smooth operation. Many use avast for its antirootkit and antispyware feature. When it comes to scanning your emails for viruses, avast is the top pick.  It has an internet mail shield which allows scanning of your emails from malicious sources.
However, avast detects Trojans weakly. Avast could not delete, repair, or move to chest some of its Trojan detections. Other antimalware programs must be installed in coordination with avast to upgrade protection against trojan. The latest Avast has also become bloated with many added features that could cause your PC to slow down.

Avira

On a recent testing of antivirus programs, Avira ranked first for its high detection capability among other free antivirus programs despite its slow update. Avira has 90%+ detection rate in contrast to AVG and Avast whose rate barely made it to 80%. In addition to viruses, it also detects Trojans, malwares and rootkits. This feature is brought about by the use of a heuristic detection technology. This technology, which is unique to Avira, allows the program to detect viruses with the same malicious code, thus it doesn’t have to rely only on its virus definition database.

However, Avira does not scan emails. A paid upgraded version or other threat detection programs must be installed to get the feature.

AVG

AVG perhaps, is the most user friendly free antivirus program. It allows you to specifically scan a file or the system when needed. Its update schedule can also be set according to what suits you better. Its email scanner allows you to scan emails with outlook and incredimail. In addition, it also has link scanner, web and resident shield.

The downside is that AVG generates a huge amount of false positive detections. Its seemingly unwanted sensitivity can delete even those innocent and useful installers and programs without asking permission first. It also only detects viruses and basic spyware. A heuristic detection technology and an antispyware program such as Threatfire will have to be installed for additional protection.

Conclusion

Generally, no antivirus programs are 100% perfect in terms of protection. It would take a lot of exposure to malicious insults before anyone could tell which one is better, especially that the viruses themselves continue to upgrade. It’s also up to the consumer which suits him best.

A good protection plan is to have one antivirus program, a good anti spyware and shield, and a keyscrambler. Don’t use two antivirus programs in your computer. To be safer, use a lot of common sense. Have a back-up plan to be sure. Also avoid links or emails from unknown sources.
Over-all, Avira takes the credit, though it updates slowly, it has a very good detection rate which is the very sense of having an antivirus program on your PC.

a bug is the biggest lie we know!

How to Overcome Three Common Relationship Issues

Do you feel like your relationship is going downhill? Do conflicts dominate than harmony when you two communicate? Going through common relationship issues can definitely break you if you do not know how to handle them. To save a precious relationship, you have to do everything to go over each issue that bugs your relationship. It is important that you know the three most common problems in a relationship. Fortunately, there also ways on how you can overcome these obstacles. Go over the list carefully and check if you are having these relationship issues.

1. Sweeping major issues to the side.

Admit it. Couples have trouble identifying the real issues at hand. When couples began to be faced with certain stressors, they become easily irritated by each other that even small problems become the subject of major fights. They do not try to sit down, talk things over calmly and go back to what really causes the problems. Small problems actually stem from more serious issues which should be addressed immediately. Being able to share the things that bother you in a relationship in an honest, open and nice way will definitely help your relationship.

2. Fearing changes in the relationship.

As the relationship goes through time, changes can happen to you and your partner. When you see some changes in your relationship, you feel uncomfortable especially if you are already used to the pattern you have with your partner for the longest time. You will have to adjust to the new routine. These changes can range from simple changes in your partner’s attitudes to change in residence for a job. To overcome this problem, you have to be honest with your feelings about the changes that are happening in both of your lives. You also have to listen to his side and understand the situation. You can come into a compromise so that you will be able to enjoy the changes. You also have to realize that change is inevitable, just make sure the love you have is still the same strong one you had at the start of the relationship.

3. Fearing abandonment.

Nobody wants to be alone for sure. Just the thought of being abandoned brings depressing feelings. Although we started out in this world as an individual, we are born to be with someone else. In a relationship, you tend to do things to your partner that you think will make him stay for good. But the tendency is that you can become controlling. You also become jealous of things that could keep him away. You are always on the look out for someone who could take him away from you. This can annoy your partner. What happened to the independent, confident and emotionally healthy person he used to loved? To solve this problem, you need to become confident and secure about yourself and your relationship. Trust the love that your partner has for you. He will surely love you for being able to stand on your own and not becoming overly dependent. At the same time, you have to share your thoughts to your partner and be honest about them. The three most common relationship issues are truly often hard to identify since couples do not have the time to look into their relationship in a different perspective. Letting emotions get ahead with your rational thinking will only hurt you more. So before you start shouting and blaming each other about petty things, you just have to breath slowly, sit down, relax, and talk calmly. Discuss your issues in an organized manner until you are able to point out what the real problem is.

the bitter pill

I used to love what i was doing. I've always prided my self as a carefree woman - not affected by any stresses in life. I used to laugh hard and appreciate everyone from the bottom of my heart. When i am upset, I show it and then forget like nothing happened. I used to forget about time. Being here and there in a flash; doing almost everything gets me excited - the karate club at this hour, debate practice next, writing sessions afterwards and of course bonding with friends at the end of the day. It felt like everything has fallen into place for me. I didn't care at all about how people might think. I have friends and i can do whatever i want. All i ever wanted was to be happy and i was because i had the freedom to do things that make me really happy.
I guess that was what it meant to be in college. My college years were great. You start to try on a lot of things hoping to find a place where you fit in and when you do, you start to feel elated, perfect and invulnerable like the world has just become ideal for you.
And then suddenly, just right after graduation, you hear yourself asking, "what's next?". Your college friends who used to adore you are going separate ways. You enter a new world where you become a stranger again, hoping to fit in somewhere. But this time, a lot is at stake.
You start to think that having a job should be prioritized or else you'd go on starving. Most parents think that their investments should return profit not for themselves but for you to survive.
And then you start to forget what your dreams were. Maybe some wanted to become a musician, others a painter. But reality strikes at us saying that you can't live with sheet music or paint brush alone especially with our economy today. We become burdened by the fact that we have to live. I used to dream of a life of being a writer, going places and writing about things that i see. But as mentioned, reality is always looming. We have to take the bitter pill in order to live.
But the question still, is there a way for us live what we've always dreamt of and be truly happy? Can we escape the life of a puppet which follows whatever his master makes him do? I'm glad that i can do the things i love but i hate to think that i do the things i do because i HAVE to and not because i LOVE to.
i am studying medicine now. As a child, i used to dream of treating people and i was happy now that i'm half-way through realizing that. But what bothered me was sometimes, it seemed that being a doctor will give you thoughts away from helping others.
As for me, i'd never stopped writing. I still write while i, sometimes, become a puppet. I know someday i will break away from the strings attached to me. I can be a doctor as well as a writer as long as i hold on to my dreams. I dream of becoming happy and everyone should too.

FIRST SIGHT

Edward Cullen seemed so perfect – well, not until my prince came.

I remember those days when i used to come to class, my shirt and baggy pants on, my hair a mess, eyes deep and red, books in hand. I didn’t notice everyone around me. I didn’t care. I wanted to sit in front just so I can focus only on my professor. I was absorbed with the other things in life except making friends with strangers.

Then, I frequently heard his name. He had a weird surname. It was all I could remember when our professor decided to dissolve our section. I panicked because I didn’t know any of my classmates. All I could remember was him being on the same new class as mine. And so I came to the class that Monday. I waited for our professor to call his name. When his name was finally called, I was relieved. I knew I was in the right class. But I didn’t know his face.

It saddened me that it took me months before I noticed that silent guy coming into class with his two friends. I was late which forced me to sit in the second to the last row. And then I noticed him. He was neat, silent, prim and proper; everything I was not. That day, I sat beside them. We shared our assignments. We even went out together after our class to photocopy the assignments. My gay friend noticed him and admitted to me he had a crush on the guy. And then I realized, “yeah, he’s cute.” I noticed his face. He has this really nice long nose (I think I have this weakness for nicely carved noses). It was already January when I finally realized I was having a crush on him.

Needless to say, i started doing my self up, fixing my hair, and wearing descent clothes. I started coming to class with a wider smile. And then he and his group would share books and notes with me. I was really happy. I was getting tired coming to class by the way but since the day i laid eyes on him, i couldn’t help but be enthusiastic about the class.

The sad part was when i have to go on a week-long fieldtrip. It meant i’d be absent in two meetings. I missed him badly. The worst was when i came back, I looked like hell. I was really dark and haggard-looking from our island trip. Anyway, when i came back, i immediately asked for updates from him. He was really nice. Thank God i didn’t scare him.

There was one meeting when we sat beside each other, only me and him at the corner of the classroom. We were both late so we had to sit at the vacant seats at the back. I was happy knowing i’ll be beside him, alone, without his friends for one and a half hour. The topics for that day were about laws and how they should be straightforward. Our professor (one of my favourites) joked about how a love letter should be straightforward as well. He said it should only contain yes or no. We laughed at everything he said. It was fun because the topic was all about love and i imagined him giving love letters to me. I was happy chatting with him, only the two of us. My heart was throbbing the whole period.

I was really, terribly sad when the semester finally ended. We had our final exams. During those times, i didn’t miss the chance of talking to him about our lessons. I was savouring each moment. But after that, we became strangers again. There was nothing that could keep us together anymore.

But life has always been so playful and ironic! I have been experiencing incredible twist and turns. A year later, we’re getting there – into bliss called love.
